About this album
Released: 28 Jan 2008 11 tracks (33:58)
Vampire Weekend is the debut album by American indie rock band Vampire Weekend, released January 2008 on XL Recordings. The album was produced by band member Rostam Batmanglij, with mixing assistance from Jeff Curtin and Shane Stoneback.
In the United States, the album sold over 27,000 copies in the first week of its release, debuting at number 17 on the Billboard 200 and as of 20 January 2010, has sold nearly half a million copies. In the album’s 11th week in the UK chart, it peaked at number 15. The album also reached number 37 in Australia.
The album’s distinctive cover photo is a Polaroid picture from one of their early shows in Columbia University.
The first single, “Mansard Roof”, was released on October 28, 2007. The second single, “A-Punk”, was released in early 2008. The album was ranked as the 5th best album of 2008 by Time, the 56th Best Album of the Decade by Rolling Stone and 51st on Pitchfork’s list of the Top 200 Albums of the 2000s.
